Tanzanian coach to appear before CAF disciplinary committee for remarks against Moroccan federation

Tanzania’s national team coach, Algerian national Adil Amrouche will be appearing before the Confederation of African Football’s disciplinary committee on Thursday, reliable Hesport sources report.

This is due to his controversial remarks made against the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) in a televised interview the day before the Morocco-Tanzania AFCON match.

The Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) Disciplinary Committee is expected to respond decisively to Amrouche’s remarks, particularly considering that they not only impacted the Royal Moroccan Football Federation but also called into question the impartiality of several CAF committees, such as the Arbitration and Programming Committee.

A few days ago, the Algerian coach made provocative statements and serious accusations against the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, in which he said, “The FRMF, headed by Faouzi Lekjaa, has become a striking force in Africa, and it is the one who runs matters in African football.”

The Algerian sports manager claimed, in the same statements, that the Tanzanian national team demanded that the match against Morocco be played at noon, but the university “imposed” its programming in the evening, adding “They even choose the referees.” This means that you are playing against a big team and other hidden things.”

In the opening round of the African Cup of Nations group stage, the Moroccan national team responded to Amrouche’s remarks on the field by defeating the Tanzanian national team by three goals in a row.
